对于初学者来说，为什么你不再告诉我们有关Emil的有机物，你在那里的角色，以及它的角色
1995年，我将我的位置作为南部的营地营销总监。一年，我与风险投资公司的评估和指导食品公司合作。然后在1996年，在费城的机会，PA作为一个经济围攻的Deli公司的首席执行官提出来。设施，员工和财务状况处于可怕的状态。我不得不删除所有高管并从地面零开始。我重建了团队，设施，并在2个月内变得有利可图。多年来，我们能够在零售食品市场中的35多家食品服务客户改为超过75个Skus。该公司于2003年进入有机世界，这是业内前的几年。我们重建该设施成为该地区的顶级设施之一。这是通过使用最高级别的复杂设备和技术来实现的。 During this time all growth and improvements were accomplished by reinvestment of profits and no investment from partners. From my start in 1996 to the sale in 2019, sales increased 5 fold. The decision to sell was driven by the extreme competition in the organic sector by billion-dollar companies and high value of the real estate.
Although Emil’s was your primary business enterprise, you have a lot of other “irons in the fire” – you have an organic berry operation in Warners, NY, and a consulting company through which you have worked coast to coast, for example – please give us a little summary of some of these other enterprises you are involved in.
三年前，我知道我要卖艾米尔。虽然我喜欢在Deli肉行业工作，但是是时候想到接下来的事情了。我知道我的经历，我有发展新业务的技能。考虑到这一点，我听说了在爱荷华州正在制作的专业浆果。我去了爱荷华州的几个农场，并与种植者谈过。我发现的是一个具有非常独特的健康益处的产品，但农民们难以销售产品。随着我决定的，我可以为这个浆果制造我的市场。但是，我坚信我需要了解和成长我自己的浆果（Aronia）。有了这个，我发现了一个35英亩的农场，纽约。与合作伙伴，我们的家人种植了25,000个幼苗，放入了巨大的灌溉系统，从场挑选了大量的岩石。 This year we received our first organic certification on the farm. I started talking to people at Cornell regarding how they could help our organic Aronia berry farm. They were fantastic about introducing me to several great people. This enabled me to get exposure to the potential markets faster than I had expected. With that information, we decided I needed to harvest this year, so we could get a jump on product and market development. So, within 2 days of making this decision, I was picking up a borrowed specialty harvester from an Aronia berry grower in Nebraska. I drove it across county to our farm and had a very successful first harvest. We are now in the final stages of product development and hope to be presenting to potential customer the first of the new year. Meanwhile last year while I was completing the Emils transition, I was contacted by a buyer of a major meat company who wanted me to fix their meat thawing process. While I really wasn’t looking to get into the consulting business, I informed him I would only do this if I actually could make an impact on their overall business. They agreed and I named my new company: Solutions by A CEO.
